Arians, Buccaneers encouraged by last-season progress | |
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are showing signs of improvement with double-digit wins in three of their last four games, even though the success has come against last-place teams. "We all knew that we were capable of this," tight end O.J. Howard said a 28-11 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars lifted the Bucs (5-7) into second place in the NFC South, albeit with a losing record. "We're finally just all happy to be able to put it together." With five victories, the team already has matched its win total from each of the past two seasons. The teams they've beaten the past month - Arizona (3-8-1), Atlanta (3-9) and Jacksonville (4-8) - may sit at the bottom of their divisions, but there's plenty for first-year coach Bruce Arians to be encouraged about moving forward.
